ABSTRACT
Amorphophallus paeoniifolius (Dennst.) Nicolson, 1885, often known as elephant foot yam, is a tropical tuber crop that originates from south-east Asia and belongs to the Araceae family. It is known for its high production potential and popularity as a medicinal plant. However, the phylogeny and genes for this species are still unavailable. In this study, the first complete chloroplast genome of A. paeoniifolius was reported and phylogenetic analysis was conducted with Araceae species. The chloroplast genome was 176,258 bp in length with 34.80% overall GC content and includes a large single-copy (LSC) region (93,951 bp), a small single-copy (SSC) region (15,013 bp), and a pair of inverted repeat (IRs) regions (33,647 bp). The chloroplast genome has 130 genes, which include 85 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. A maximum-likelihood (ML) phylogenetic analysis indicated that all Amorphophallus species formed a single monophyletic clade with a high bootstrap value and A. paeoniifolius was closely related to A. konjac, A. albus, A. krausei, and A. titanum. The chloroplast genome reported in this study will be useful for further taxonomic and evolutionary studies of Amorphophallus.
